(mainly a free verse poem)
Living green hasn’t been my priority,
however this simply shows my inferiority,
maybe even my shameful humanity.
I have called myself a green,
and I have called myself a liberal.
I have berated 4×4 drivers,
and I have been critical of the US.
But really what I should’ve been doing,
is starting from myself.
I have never sorted trash,
or recycled a single molecule.
Is this really who I am?
Just an average hypocrite?
